It all started when…

Greetings! I’m Brianna. I became a doula because of a deep-rooted passion within me. Much like the moon, people go through phases in their lives. What I strive to do is support you through some key phases- pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. 

When I had my first child at the age of 20, I had no idea what to expect. I had one book that I referred to, but it did not prepare me for the journey I was about to embark on. The internet wasn’t as easy to access as it is now!

Years later, I started discovering that I didn’t have to blindly say yes to things just because other people or books “knew best.” I wasn’t a failure of a mother for not following what some parenting book or well-meaning person said. I wanted to make my own decisions based on my own knowledge and feelings. So, I started researching about anything and everything relating to parenthood. I researched pregnancy, car seats, breast/chestfeeding, formula, sickness, postpartum, and many other things. I soaked the information in, excited to learn and teach. When my friends and siblings started having children, I was there, a font of information for them to use. I continued learning and helping, sometimes changing my own views based on the things I’d read and discovered. 

When my youngest child entered kindergarten, I asked myself, “What do I want to be when I grow up?” After doing some soul-searching, I realized that I wanted to help pregnant, birthing, and postpartum people to feel respected, understood, heard, educated, and not alone. I wanted to help them find empowerment through making their own informed choices when it comes to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. So, I started on the path to becoming a doula. 

All of that being said, I’m an open book. What you see is what you’ll get, so feel free to ask any and all questions. I firmly believe you should feel comfortable with the person who’s a part of one of life’s important phases. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your ideal birth experience!
